Go to your rooms

Little people of the world,

And particularly those

Who own big spaces

Right at the centre

Of our shared emptiness

It's time to go and have

A long hard think

About what you've done

And what you have become.

 

This growing debt

This planet's overdraft

Unlocked through lack of planning

Lack of vision - worse -

Through 'knowledge'

And selfish calculation.

 

Go to your rooms.

 

Don't come out until you're sorry.
